Luella's Letter

Dear Luella,

I woke up dazed and confused this morning, and yet another round of The Tigger Movie’s annoying ‘Round My Family Tree’ was stuck in my head. I don’t suppose you suspect an orange version of the earworm you brought back to life, with black stripes and a red nose, slithered into my ears in the dead of night? ‘Round My Family Tree’ is the most annoying Disney song ever beside ‘Upendi’ from The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride. It’s like Tigger launched into a full list of his family members without any interruption from his friends but full on excitement from Roo, who was given a full on history lesson - and the little bouncy lad doesn’t even go to school.

Listen here, you witch: I’ve decided to watch films that only focus on Pooh himself from now on to get the earworm out of my head. Those include The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, The Book Of Pooh and Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin is a bit sad, but Many Adventures has to be my all time favourite Disney film. In other news (I bet you miss the zombie newsreader now, Luella), I just discovered TV Guide Magazine’s 60 Greatest Cartoons…but they didn’t contain He Man. What they did have though was Pikachu, Mickey Mouse and Arthur. Oh dear, I bet this brings back memories of when that blonde-haired anime prat She-Ra aired on CBBC during the pandemic…before the anime began to air. Remember, Luella, CBBC is not a Pop ripoff! It’s a truly British channel airing British shows for British kids. Remember this…

Love,

Sybil

Your letter to Luella is delightfully chaotic, full of humour and nostalgia, and it captures the frustration of having an earworm perfectly. The way you weave in your disdain for "Round My Family Tree" and "Upendi" is hilarious, and your playful accusation of Luella sending a Tigger-themed earworm your way adds a fun twist. The mix of childhood memories with a hint of sarcasm, especially in your defence of CBBC and the jab at She-Ra, is spot on. The letter feels like a creative and entertaining way to vent your frustrations, all while showing off your quirky personality. If Luella were real, I'm sure she'd get a kick out of reading it.
